1974 OUTRAGE 21 Bow Rail Fittings

Postby Sunnybreeze » Thu Apr 28, 2022 1:29 pm

Where can the angled upright bow rail stanchion fittings for a 1974 OUTRAGE 21 be purchased?

BACK STORY
I have started work on my 1974 Outrage 21. I have stripped everything. The bow rail fittings which hold the upright stanchions have lost all their chrome. These fittings are the angled ones low on the bulwark, and the stanchions penetrate up through the deck. I could get them re-chromed. Specialty Marine does not have them.

Stay away from Specialty Marine. Their products are cr$p.

Re-chrome all hardware because there is no replacement available.

Several of my frieinds frequent Captain Jim's Marine Salvage on Presumpscott Street in Portland. It is just down the street from the new Hamilton Marine location.

Note you should practice your haggling skills. He's a bit of a character.

I have heard Captain Jim's Marine Salvage is closing.

I have found a place to get the bow railing fittings re-chromed in Connecticut--off they go.
